The wealthiest most prosperous countries in the world have the highest rates of suicide, depression, anxiety and perceptions of physical pain.
Food for thought.
So do you really think that all people in nursing homes are there because they have no children?
All good.Below is the formula I use for a stress free(as possible) lifestyle.
1) Stay @ least semi-employed in in a physically active job for as long as possible as 100% retirement comes with it's own problems.
2) Locate in a rural or country(acreage) LOW TAX setting(slooow lifestyle).
3) Avoid face to face 'over'-socializing as heavy socializing can/will go political(stress) on a person.
4) Have an enjoyable @ home trade you can make some $$$$$ at.
5) Keep pets that you just can't wait to be with.
6) Stay active on USMB!
7) Make sure your in tight & close friends share your interests!
Remember that in America we live with an inflationary debt spending type of financial system. Keep out of debt as much as possible for in this type of financial system inflation is your worst enemy.
I think you are wrong.I have a feeling it's a majority.
I think you are wrong.
Most people in nursing homes are over the age of 65 and the majority of those are significantly older. Just knowing that and the generation they came from I think it would be pretty safe to say that most of the women and men that are currently in nursing homes had at least one child.
According to this article people are actually forced into nursing homes by the government programs meant to help them in their old age
Hundreds of Thousands Of Nursing Home Residents Donât Need To Be There
Hundreds of thousands of frail seniors have no clinical need for skilled nursing care. If better options were available, many could be living in other settings, including their own homes.www.forbes.com
It's still quite an assumption on your part.I'm talking about the many "assisted care" places I see around NYC, not true nursing homes.
It's still quite an assumption on your part.
The truth of the matter is kids are not inviting their aging parents to live with them anymore

Absolutely. You have to live on the water to understand the peace of it. I was not blessed with social graces. I have no musical talent. Can't sing or play an instrument. Can't dance. My way of bringing joy to others is taking them fishing or hunting. There is a deep satisfaction to taking people out on the lake. I take happy people to do happy thing. I help them create life long memories. This big nosed old broke bastard is in thousands of other people's family vacation photos. Not only will they remember that great day on the lake or that first fish they caught, they will remember it was me that provided that for them. Not only will they remember me but they will remember me fondly.And do you find those little pleasures give you not only a deeper but longer lasting sense of enjoyment. I know they do for me.

I'm not sure I agree with the physical pain-pleasure continuum. Since both can occur independently, it does not follow that a balance between them is the desired outcome. However, the other factors of addiction and resistance do contribute to emotional dysphoria by creating pain and lessening pleasure.
While I doubt that fasting has any long term benefits, I do believe that moderation in pleasurable inputs achieves the greatest overall happiness. For example, enjoying a moderately sized meal results in greater long term satisfaction than overeating the same meal and suffering the consequnces. The same applies to almost all other human activities.

I don't think we necessarily disagree we just come to a similar conclusion from different paths.I think her take on it is partially true. But it's much more than that. I know you won't like my take on it (because it brings in spirituality) but it boils down to people trying to find happiness and fulfillment in things that can never truly satisfy. It's like trying to run on the wrong type of fuel. It just doesn't work.
This quote by C.S Lewis sums it up, iyam:
“Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”— C.S. Lewis
But I don't want to take this thread off topic or debate this right now, so I'll leave it at that.
Carry on!
Here's to many days on the water for the both of us this year! My season starts Sunday.I get it. Just being on a lake in my kayak is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable things for me. If I'm stressed out all I have to do is think about getting out in my kayak and I feel better.
I am very concerned with the mental state of the younger generation. They seem to be slaves to their phones and social media life. That is so unhealthy on several different levels. I also know adults that live for "likes" on their facebook pages, mostly women. That's not healthy either.Exactly which is why people stress out over how many "likes" they get on some stupid social media platform and those likes dive them such a dopamine rush that they constantly seek them out which eventually just becomes like an addiction.

america is a godforsaken rat race. Get up go to work. Race off to work. Work until utter exhaustion, race home, throw down some processed food. Do it again, and again, and again, and again. And then tell us how great it is. And we wonder why people are a mess? Wonder why people need booze and drugs?
